Today I've released a new PHP package for exporting array data to a CSV file. Often data needs exporting from a database into CSV files.
To install the package import it with composer:
composer require daveismyname/exportcsv
Then to use it import the namespace
use Daveismyname\ExportCsv\ExportCsv;
To export the data the following is required
//set filename
$filename = 'test.csv';
//set column names
$headerFields = array('First Name', 'Last Name', 'Company', 'Created');
//create array
$records = [];
//loop through data and add to array
foreach($contacts as $row) {
$records[] = array(
$row->firstName,
$row->lastName,
$row->companyName,
$row->created_at
);
}
//send params to csv
new csv($records, $filename, $headerFields);
